ilse72 What is your problem? I never said anyone (including you) caused my inability to have children or the pain it caused. I also have said (read the rest of the posts please!) that I would never deny anyone their right to an abortion...just that it is their...

ilse72 You have no idea what you are talking about! I did not wait 10 years to adopt...I was on the waiting list for more than 7 years before we got a child. The waiting list as the time was 10 years. And, when we finally adopted, it wasn't via the agency (or we...

ilse72 How many children have YOU adopted? Those who are SO critical of those of us who have unselfishly adopted are usually the same ones who have never adopted and have often had multiple abortions. Until you have suffered years (9 for me) of infertility, you have...

ilse72 Sorry, again you are mistaken....unless things have changed. We were on the list for any child from infant to age 5. There weren't any. Sure, we could have adopted age 10 and older without a problem but we hadn't been married that long (when we applied) so...

Have you been scared lately?

cindyhartzell @cindyhartzell (60) • United States 19 Sep 07

I was driving one of our company cars the other day, when the brakes gave out! Fortunately, we were trying to park the car in a parking lot when the brakes failed. Unfortunately, the parking lot was up on a hill. The car went over...

ilse72 The road was "Buck and Doe Road". If you go to the Skywalk, you can't avoid the last 13 miles of it but that part isn't bad. It is the first 15 miles, that we got on by mistake, that was the nightmare! The Skywalk was fine as a one time thing. I would...

baby adoption

bagumbayan @bagumbayan (2705) • Philippines 21 Sep 07

What can you say about adopting a baby. If married couple dont have kids and for single parents, who wants to have kids, would you go on adopting one. For me adopting a baby is one of the wonders you can do. Caring for someone who...

ilse72 Not only would I adopt, but I have adopted. We were married 10 years when we adopted a baby. Our son is now 25 years old! We tried to adopt 5 times after that but the adoptions all fell through. At the time we tried to adopt, the waiting list was 10 years long...

Do you always try to thank people, if they give you a best response here?

dorypanda @dorypanda (1601) 24 Feb 07

I try to, if I can, but sometimes I can't do it for one reason or another. Do you get annoyed if you get a message that says you've received a response and it's just 'thank you'?

Phlamingho @Phlamingho (7825) • Denmark 5 Apr 07

ilse72 This depends on the type of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes - the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin are destroyed usually by the body attacking itself(an auto immune reaction). This causes a severe lack of insulin. Why this happens is unknown but is...

surgery

cruisingalong @cruisingalong (83) • United States 6 Mar 07

In my last discussion I did ask if anyone had recvd' percocets for after surgery pain and was wondering if they make you itchy and go thru hot and cold flashes?

percocets

1 response

ilse72 Itching is a sign of an allergic reaction. It is also a known allergic response to percocet. You need to call your doctor asap and let him know. In the meantime, until you reach him/her, please do not take anymore of the percocet. Hot and cold flashes are not...

How do you end it with someone after 3 years of dating??

racheld @racheld (840) • United States 6 Mar 07

I've been with my boyfriend for over three years now and we have been living together for the past 7 months. More and more I find myself treasuring my alone time and I would like to try being single for awhile. I want to...

1 response

ilse72 There is no easy way to do this and honesty is the best policy. So tell your boyfriend the truth, that you are not sure you are ready to live together and that you want to be on your own. If you have no intentions of dating him (as in totally ending it), make...

ilse72 It is time to consult a doctor to find out why you have a problem. At 24, you are too young for this issue. Often, swelling in one particular area signifies an undiagnosed problem. Please see your doctor or an orthopedic doctor for an examination, diagnosis...
